In the Quartermaster’s Stores

I’m so pleased to say that my work is on the wall in a cafe in Great Waltham in Essex called The Stores for the next 3 months!  Its a rather lovely new cafe in the area which sells great coffee for somewhere out of London and some delicious homemade cakes as well as some fab paintings for sale.  I’m really pleased to announce that this is on for a three month period.   I have been working hard to produce work for it alongside some commissions and the plan is to change the work around each month so people don’t get too bored.  Fingers crossed some of them will be sold anyway so it will be just a matter of replacing them.

It was quite hard to know what work to display in a cafe.  Its difficult to judge the size or pricing of them.  Some of the work there had clearly been done by hobby painters and so the price was mainly irrelevant and so they were charging a really low price.  A particular artist displaying there sold loads of artwork as they were only £25 each!  Sadly this puts me in a difficult position as I have become fully committed to making a living out of my work.  I hope the general public find my prices reasonable.  One of the hardest things I find is knowing where to price your work.  It’s a fine balance between selling your work and getting what you want for it.

If you are someone who lives near Gt Waltham in Essex please do pop into the cafe to have a cup or tea or something.  Tell me what you think of my work and pricing.  Also a quick heads up, I will be exhibiting at the Stebbing Open Gardens this weekend in Essex too.  Pop along if you are around.
